[English]

Hey there friends. Imagine this. It's Saturday  morning. No alarm, no rush. Just you, your coffee,  

and a little English practice with me.  Sounds like a good plan, right? Today,  

we're going to talk about the weekend.  specifically my weekend routine. I'll share my  

weekend routine with you and together we'll learn  real life English for everyday conversations.  

We'll practice listening, speaking,  and pick up super useful phrases in  

vocabulary you can use right away. I'll speak  slowly and clearly so you can listen, repeat,  

and really understand everything. This  video will be fun and casual. Think of  

it like we're two friends chatting about our  weekends. So, are you ready? Let's get started.

Welcome to my Saturday morning. On weekends, I  like to start my day a little differently than  

on weekdays. First of all, I usually sleep in on  Saturday mornings. Sleep in means I sleep longer  

in the morning than I usually do on work days. In  other words, I don't set an alarm and I wake up  

late. It feels so nice to rest. Repeat after me.  I like to sleep in on Saturdays. Good job. I get  

up around 900 a.m. on Saturday, much later than  my weekday 6:30 a.m. wake up. I stretch, yawn,  

and say, "Ah, it's the weekend." Next, I make a  cup of coffee. I walk to the kitchen and brew some  

fresh coffee. [Music] I love the smell of coffee  in the morning. I might say, "I can't start my day  

without my coffee." Do you drink coffee or tea in  the morning? Think about it. While having coffee,  

I prepare breakfast. On Saturdays, I often cook a  simple breakfast like scrambled eggs or pancakes.  

I might say aloud, "Time for breakfast. Let's  make something yummy." Make breakfast means to  

prepare your morning meal. Sometimes I just  have cereal, but often on weekends I treat  

myself to a hot breakfast. After breakfast, I  do some light chores around the house. Chores  

means the small jobs that we do at home, like  cleaning or organizing. For example, I tidy  

up the kitchen. Tidy up means make a place look  neater and more organized. I wash the dishes and  

wipe the counter so the kitchen is clean again.  I might also do the laundry on Saturday morning.  

Do the laundry means to wash the dirty clothes,  towels, etc. I gather my clothes, put them in  

the washing machine, and let it run while I  relax. Repeat. On weekends, I do the laundry.

Great. Now it is Saturday afternoon. This  is time for fun or maybe some small jobs.  

My weekends aren't just about housework. I also  go out and enjoy the day. Let's practice speaking  

together with a few afternoon scenarios. I will  act out a situation and you try to answer as if  

we're talking. Don't be shy. You can speak out  loud. I will stop and give you time to speak. Hi,  

it's Emma. The weather is beautiful today,  isn't it? Do you want to join me at the  

park? Now it's your turn. How would  you reply? Imagine you do want to go.

You could answer with something like, "Sure,  that sounds great." Or, "Yes, I'd love to go  

to the park with you." So, we decided to meet at  the park. When we meet, I say, "I'm so happy you  

came. It's a perfect afternoon to hang out at  the park." The phrase hang out means to spend  

time in a place or with someone, usually doing  something fun or just chatting. In this case,  

hanging out means we'll relax at the park together  without any rush. Maybe we'll sit on a bench and  

chat or walk around. At the park, I might ask you,  "What do you want to do?" We could take a walk,  

eat something, or just sit and enjoy the sun.  If I ask, "What do you want to do?" How could  

you respond? It's your turn to answer. Maybe  you'd say, "Let's take a walk." Or, "How about  

we play Frisbee?" Great ideas. I love hearing your  answers. This way you practice speaking English as  

if you were really here with me while walking.  I might start a friendly conversation. So,  

how was your week? Or do you come to this park  often on weekends? These are common casual  

questions when hanging out. You could answer,  "My week was good. Thanks." Or, "Yes, I come here  

every Saturday." Feel free to actually answer me.  The more you practice speaking, the more confident  

you'll become after I enjoy the park. I usually  have some things to do. Let's say I need to buy  

groceries in the afternoon. Groceries means food  and household items from the store. I decide to go  

to the supermarket. Now, I will invite you to come  with me. I'm going to the supermarket to do some  

grocery shopping. want to come with me? Imagine  your friend asks you this. How do you reply? You  

can say yes, I need to buy some things, too. Or,  okay, let's go shopping together. Great. Now we  

go to the store. In the supermarket, you'll hear  and use a lot of everyday English. For example,  

I might ask, "Do we need a shopping cart or just  a basket?" Or I could say, "I have to pick up some  

vegetables for dinner." Pick up in this context  means to get or buy something. While shopping,  

I could ask you, "Have you tried this brand  before?" And you can practice answering like, "No,  

I haven't. Is it good?" Or, "Yes, I buy it every  week." Let's do a short role play in the store.  

H I need to buy milk, eggs, and bread. What's  on your shopping list? Your turn. Name a couple  

of things you want to buy. Great. Oh, look. The  fruit is cheaper today. Should we buy some apples?  

Your turn. Answer the question. Maybe you said,  "Sure, I love apples." Or, "No thanks. I already  

have apples at home." Great job. You're making  active decisions in English. This is exactly how  

you build confidence by imagining real situations  and answering in English. After shopping, we have  

our bags of food. I can say, "Thanks for coming  with me." Shopping is more fun with a friend.  

We can finish with a friendly phrase like see you  later at home. Or if we stay together, I can ask  

what do you want to do next. Weekends are also a  time to visit friends or family. Let's practice a  

scenario where I visit a friend or a friend visits  me and include you in the conversation. Imagine we  

arrive at my friend Sarah's house for a small get  together. I knock on the door. Knock knock. Sarah  

opens it. Hi, Emma. Come on in. Oh, you brought a  friend. That's you. Welcome. Now we're at Sarah's  

living room chatting. Common questions friends ask  each other on weekends are, "How's your weekend  

going?" or "What did you do this morning?" Sarah  might ask you, "How was your morning?" Here you  

can practice answering about your morning. For  example, it was good. I slept in and made a nice  

breakfast. Great. You just used slept in and made  breakfast just like we learned earlier. While we  

are talking, Sarah says, "We are going to watch a  movie later. Do you want to join us?" Then I look  

at you and ask, "What do you think? Should we stay  and watch a movie?" Now it's your turn to answer.  

Maybe you will reply, "Sure, sounds fun." Or,  "Actually, I have to go soon." If you accept,  

great, we'll watch a movie together. If you  decline, you could say something polite like,  

"Thanks, but I have other plans tonight." When  we visiting friends, we usually have small  

talk. People might discuss how their week was or  what they plan to do on Sunday. If someone asks,  

"What are you doing tomorrow?" you can practice  a response like, "Tomorrow I'm just relaxing at  

home." Or, "I'm going to visit my family." Try  answering that now. What are you doing tomorrow?  

Excellent. Keep practicing answers to simple  questions like these to improve your speaking  

fluency. After a busy afternoon, I usually have  a relaxing Saturday evening. Everyone likes to  

spend the evening in a different way. I will tell  you about my evening and you can think about your  

evening. On Saturday evenings, I typically stay in  and relax. Stay in means I stay at home. I don't  

go out on most Saturdays. I might say, "I'm going  to stay in tonight and just chill." To stay in is  

the opposite of go out. Going out means leaving  home to do something fun like go to a restaurant  

or cinema. Sometimes I do go out with friends, but  often I enjoy a quiet evening after a long week.  

One thing I love to do on a Saturday night is cook  dinner at home. For example, I might make pasta  

or order a pizza if I'm feeling lazy. Let's say  tonight I decide to cook. I could say tonight I'm  

cooking spaghetti bolognese for dinner. What about  you? Do you prefer cooking or ordering food on  

weekends? Think about it. After dinner, I usually  wind down for the night. Wind down means to  

gradually relax after being busy or stressed. For  me, winding down might include watching a movie or  

reading a book. I'll give you an example. After  dinner, I like to wind down by watching a movie  

on Netflix. Here, wind down is like saying relax  and slow down. Another casual phrase for relaxing  

is chill out. I might say, "I'm just going to  chill out on the couch and watch TV." Chill out  

simply means to relax and take it easy. Feel free  to repeat, I'm chilling out at home tonight. Good.  

By around 1000 p.m. I feel sleepy. I might say  I'm getting a bit tired now. Finally, I go to bed  

around 11 p.m. And that's my Saturday. It was  a simple, relaxing evening. We've reached the  

end of our weekend journey together. Now it's your  turn. I challenge you to describe your own weekend  

routine in English. You can write it down in the  comments below or practice saying it to yourself.  

Try to use some of the vocabulary from today's  lesson like sleep in, hang out, stay in, etc. I'll  

be checking the comments and would love to see  how you spend your weekends. Before you go, if you
